This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Marathi on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Marathi in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishing consensus on the talk page first. For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters. |
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Marathi pronunciations in Wikipedia articles. For a guide to adding IPA characters to Wikipedia articles, see Template:IPA and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation § Entering IPA characters.

Notes
edit- ^ a b In the letter series beginning with क, क = क् + अ; ka = k + a. Thus 'क' has the inherent vowel 'अ', giving 'क' without added vowel sign using diacritics (The halanta "्" is removed). But the IPA shown here has the consonant 'k' only & does not include the vowel 'a'.
- ^ /bʱ/ is pronounced either as [bʱ] or [v].
- ^ a b /dʑ/ and /dʑʱ/ phonetically may be either [dʑ] and [dʑʱ], [dz] and [dzʱ] or [dʒ] and [dʒʱ] depending on the variety and speaker.
- ^ /ɭ̆/ is pronounced either as [ɭ̆] or [ɭ].
- ^ /pʰ/ is pronounced either as [pʰ] or [f].
- ^ /s/ is pronounced either as [s] or [ɕ].
- ^ a b /tɕ/ and /tɕʰ/ phonetically may be either [tɕ] and [tɕʰ] or [ts] and [tsʰ], [tʃ] and [tʃʰ] depending on the variety and speaker.
